Fox News interview calls migrants "the worst people" and claims "COVID is peanuts" compared to diseases crossing the border

In a Justice with Judge Jeanine interview filmed at Mar-a-Lago, Trump told Fox News that caravans approaching the southern border were "like an army" made up of "the absolute worst people" who are "poisoning" the United States. He asserted that "COVID is peanuts compared to some of these diseases" supposedly brought by migrants and said his base had to turn out in Virginia or Republicans could not win, weaving xenophobic disinformation into his effort to control upcoming elections.

"Our country is being poisoned... COVID is peanuts compared to some of these diseases." — Interview with Judge Jeanine Pirro
